- We're remaking The Endless Forest! - 14 December 2016
The Endless Forest was our first release. A multiplayer online game where everyone plays a magical deer in an idyllic forest. With its peaceful atmosphere, lack of chat or game goals, freedom to play and interact, The Endless Forest set the tone for all our productions to follow. We are celebrating its tenth anniversary with an attempt to remake the technology that drives The Endless Forest. Because we want to be able to continue expanding the game and give it as lively a second decade as its first. Being a completely free game, development of The Endless Forest relies entirely on non-commercial funding. To be able to remake the game, we are currently collecting contributions via IndieGogo. If you care about free games where people can experience a beautiful harmonious magical and often hilariously funny community, please consider helping out! https://igg.me/at/theendlessforest

- Of Mice And Gamepads: The Future Of Controllers - 21 May 2014
If I m going to be dull and reductive about it, playing videogames works like this: we tell a game something through an input device say, a gamepad, motion contoller, touch screen or keyboard and get a response back in the form of images or sound. It s like a conversation, but it s shaped by the devices we use to talk. Without the Wiimote, there is no Wii Sports. Without the touch screen, there is no Fingle or Bloop . If I don t own the relevant controller, then I can t play these games. But what if the controller doesn t even exist? Many games are impossible to conceive of because we don t have the hardware to act as muse. Are we living on a junk diet of gamepads and mice or a rich land of controller plenty? Let s have a chat with a few developers and see wot what they think. …
- S.EXE: Auriea Harvey & Micha l Samyn - 25 April 2014
Many of Tale of Tales’ games have erotic undertones, and you might begin to wonder exactly why that is. You remember I wrote about Tale of Tales ‘ FATALE earlier in this column , of course. And after winning the Nuovo Award for Luxuria Superbia at the IGF Awards a few weeks ago, Auriea Harvey & Micha l Samyn explained in their acceptance speech that they did a lot of ‘research’ together for their award-winning game. Because Luxuria Superbia is about touch, pleasure, and joy, and can make you blush when you play it, you can imagine the sort of research they were referring to. Well, the erotic undertones are because Auriea Harvey & Micha l Samyn are married and have confessed they are good at two things: making art, and f**king. …
